Uzbekistan Held To Friendly Draw By North Korea

The match took place in Tashkent, the city which will host Uzbekistan's Uzbeks second match in Group B against Australia on September 10.

Four days earlier they are in action in Qatar.

North Korea travel to UAE for their Group B opener and on September 10 host South Korea in the Chinese city of Shanghai.

It wasn’t the best of performances from the highly-fancied Central Asians and their best chance fell to defender Ilhom Suyunov.

North Korea had their chances too but couldn’t find a way past opposition goalkeeper Ignatiy Nesterov.
